Kulika was established in 1981 in the UK as a grant-making charitable trust specialising in the provision of educational scholarships for East African students. More recently Kulika has developed its own operational programmes in Uganda, which is now the focus of all the organisation's activities. The objective of developing human resources for the development of Uganda underpins all of Kulika's work. The Scholarship Programme supports 100+ students each year, mainly in Uganda, and a new Sustainable Agriculture Training Programme has been established - providing training to farmers who act as trainers in their own communities.
